described in typically self deprecating manner as a vanity imprint in the classically ornery tradition, the pear growers series is a new label from chris madak, best known for his mind bendingly good output as bee mask. the first release sees material from madaks excellent spectrum spools long player when we were eating unripe pears get treated to remixes from celebrated techno artists surgeon and abdulla rashim. anyone who has heard surgeon playing the remix on his rinse fm show will agree that his unashamedly emotive breakbeat reworking of *the story of keys & locks* is arguably one of the simplest and most affecting remixes this year. complementing this, prologue and semantica artist abdulla rashim delivers a take on *unripe pears* that will resonate with anyone that has indulged in the elusive producers recent output on his own eponymous label.

part of a constellation of little known, largely spanish techno artists who have defined semantica as a must-watch techno label since at least 2009 but really for its entire history, aikens work is also a stunning summation of the qualities that make this small group of leading-edge talents essential encapsulations of the genres musical progression up until this time. deeply rooted in the innovations of detroit, berlin and new york, his music also takes in flourishes of sound design and broken-beat experimentalism rooted in the rich past of uk dance music

merkur releases its 6th ep which has a new, different approach compared to the last eps for which it has gained much praise during the past 5 years. the a-side >theme of mercury< was produced by label founder shingo suwa and akirahawks, who is known for the unique re-edit label house mannequin. the two of them mainly perform at homopatik in berlin. theme of mercury is a hypnotic track which was created with some broken old synth and sends your mind on an intergalactic odyssey, before diving into the deepest ocean on a journey to forget about space and time. the first track of the b-side is a remix from ducerey ada nexino aka yuji kondo, also known for his work under both his own name and as a half of steven porter on semantica. the remix fastens up the mix by repetitive pulsating synths, giving the beat an industrial modern atmosphere and letting the crowd heating up. the second track on the flip-side, called >barsoom<, is a solo production by shingo and completes the whole package. the functional work of a cut up 303 acid line with raw bass and a running groove creates an insistent and deeply pressured feeling. vinyl only, limited to 300 copies.

if you are into techno, svreca needs no introduction. this spanish dj and producer has been travelling around the world for a while and his label semantica has earned its place amongst the best cult labels thanks to their support of the vinyl format and investment on incredible artworks. they also have one of the best artists rosters.

using a handful of production aliases, the spanish producer has been dishing out dark-tinted techno since the early 00s, often releasing on his own mental disorder imprint. his most prolific moniker is reeko, with which hes put out some three dozen records. his relatively more recent work as architectural, meanwhile, has been highlighted by a few appearances on semantica, including the 2012 solo release peacetime-a track from that one, looking ahead, earned a place in norman nodges berghain 06 mix for ostgut ton.

repitch returns with a strong 3-tracker ep from the high-acclaimed british duo and, enhanced by a remix that comes from semantica s boss svreca. the release starts with a catchy techno track that got its strength in an endearing melody and a reassuring breath-alike sound that bring us positive vibes. in the a2, svreca puts the a1 track into a black tunnel. claustrophobic atmospheres, blind and disorienting sounds with a circular attitude that you ll not see the end. on the flip, the b1 would be the pick for those who want to destroy a dancefloor. straight and distorted beats are followed by sinister whistles, pressing and complex hi-hats layers culminating in a punishing melody.

morphology is back on semantica with his trademark sound, his moody atmosphere, beautiful melodies and rhythmic beats that we have come to love.

following his dream ep release last year that featured an amazing j.t.c. remix, juanpablo drops us this time another especial production called mother mountain ep that shows clearly how hard he is pushing to create his own beat. last year his song dream was reviewed by some specialized media as hard to describe but easy to love and we think that the mother mountain track on this record will get a similar description. sea people is the second track and for this song juanpablo has invited spanish producer vinz vincenzo to collaborate with him in the production. this artist has been around for a long time and has made a lot of music in many different types that are far away from electronic genres which gives a plus to the end result of this production. and lastly, we have a remix of mother mountain by the mythic spanish producer arcanoid who has released on labels such as tesla, semantica, etc. his remix is pure techno, very hypnotic, dark and mental but always with his personal touch. probably the most club oriented tune on this record.

semantica celebrates their 5th anniversary with this stellar release, featuring tracks by erp, boris divider, oscar mulero and julien neto. congratulations, and keep the good things coming!
